Emiliana Torrini - Birds lyrics

rate me

Let's stay awake and listen to the dark<br />

Before the birds, before they all wake up<br />

It's the ending of a play and soon begins another<br />

Hear the leaves applaud the wind<br />

<br />

See the sun come rising and white wings start to fly<br />

Like strings of pearls in the fiery sky<br />

I don't want to close my eyes<br />

Don't want to leave the stage now<br />

As the leaves applaud our stay<br />

<br />

Lend me your wings and teach me how to fly<br />

Show me when it rains, the place you go to hide<br />

And the curtains draw again and bow, another day ends<br />

The leaves applaud the wind<br /><br />
